Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The information in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and according to general instruction B.2. thereunder, the information in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.
On November 12, 2012, Forbes Energy Services Ltd., or the Company, announced the results of its operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Additional information is included in the Company’s press release dated November 12, 2012, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 8.01 – Other Events.
The Company today announced that, because its common stock trades on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol “FES,” the Company intends to voluntarily delist its common stock from the Toronto Stock Exchange, or the TSX. The Company feels that the minimal trading volume of these shares on the TSX no longer justifies the expenses associated with maintaining this listing.
The Company has provided written notice to the TSX regarding the delisting. The Company anticipates that its common stock will be delisted from the TSX at the close of trading on Friday, November 16, 2012.
This current report includes forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s plans and intentions regarding the delisting of its common stock from the TSX. These forward-looking statements are based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company.
